Delicious Movement Workshop, Eiko Otake
Thursday 10 Dec 2026 from 5pm to 7pm
Free upon registration
In partnership with the Centre Pompidou.
Eiko Otake invites audiences to take part in a “Delicious Movement Workshop”, following two evenings of performances.
Born in Japan, Eiko Otake is an award-winning, movement-based artist and a prominent figure of the New York art scene since the 1970s.
The workshop is open to everyone and is emphatically non-competitive. No previous dance experience is required.
The programme is presented in partnership with the Centre Pompidou.
She worked for more than 40 years as Eiko & Koma performing their own choreography, but since 2014, Eiko has been directing her own projects.
In her solo project “A Body in Places”, Eiko has performed numerous site-specific works. “A Body in Fukushima” records Eiko‘s solo performances in post-nuclear disaster Fukushima.
In her “Duet Project”, Eiko has been engaged in an open-ended series of cross-disciplinary experiments with a diverse range of artists, including Wen Hui with whom Eiko is performing in “What Is War”.
A recipient of MacArthur, the Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award, and Doris Duke Artist Award, Eiko teaches regularly at colleges and in communities.
